My 83 is surprisingly quick. It puts you back in the seat when the turbo spools up and barks the tires when it shifts into second with even moderately spirited throttle input. The td's are both slugs in comparison. I towed one of the td's home on a strap and accelerated quicker than either td will by itself.
